He can't play nicely or share his toys
He always takes from the other boys
Got no time for music or vids
Doesn't act like the other kids
Does Donald
Don't let Donald play
He's gonna spoil your day
Believe his words if you must
But only…
A nice Talking Heads-esque biting commentary on The Donald. I consider myself a guitarist first and so my ear is always initially drawn in that direction and I like what you have going on here on that instrument. I also think the drums, vocals, and bass are nicely intertwined and complement each other well. Another fav, Steve!
A distress call from space is picked up, and then a race to rescue the crew ensues. I have attempted to contrast the peace of space with the urgency and determination of the rescue mission, and it's eventual success.

This is really awesome - my only complaint is that I wished I had heard it sooner! It would fit perfectly between Jeff Beck's "My Thing" and "So What" songs off his 2003 album, Jeff (which is his best album, imo). Excellent work, Steve!

Thanks Tom. I try to vary it a bit and not be too predictable. Next time I'm going to do a longer tune than the usual two minutes, but I don't want it to become boring. We'll see.
Lyrics by Tom Browning
Slight, crooked teeth,
I hear behind the screens so blind
Our, fingertips, burnt tyres and lips next to it.
Down, in the suit that we wear,
It's in the suit that we share.
Can't you seek us out and then find, find, find
That we ain't got nothing to hide, hide, hide
Through, the dirt,
Spring pinches it's deadly grip
An, acid rain, ungroomed smell of it
Slight, crooked teeth, I hear behind the screen.
Our, fingertips, burnt tyres and lips next to it.
Damn! Feels good to hit the Upload button again!
Completed RPM 17. this is the last track!!. the album is my first run through with logic pro ( dumping pro tools and the monthly subscription fee)
I feel great playing again.. been so long…
Greg Connor, Scott Zosel and I wrote this one today around my coffee table. It's been awhile since we've had a chance to do that, and it felt like "going home" a bit to us...
We wrote this in support of all those who are trying to find the…
Nice job Tom. I haven't heard this song before, but I can sense the emotions you convey in the lyrics. The quick chord changes sound tricky. Well done!
Lovely tone, a nice depth created, and great vocals add up to a really good sound here Tom. Like the way you have added an extra dimension with accompanying vocals. Well done!

This sounds tricky to strum and sing at the same time. I like the rhythm you give it, and vocals are good too. I had a look at Dawes playing it, and I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. I prefer your version Tom, more direct and effective I reckon. Good job!

Thanks Tom, I appreciate your comments. Mixing and cutting loops to make a tune is easier for me than singing. I think I need more help than a bit of echo. Talking Heads were fun and wacky, a bit different, so I'm happy if I remind you of them.

Amazing!
It's really impressive how you have so much going on here and yet it all fits together nicely. Def another one of yours that is a fav of mine!
Thanks for that!
Thanks DJ UrSine. I'm happy that you listened and liked it.
Thanks Tom. I wanted to convey urgency and confusion in the song. Glad you like it. BTW - I must listen to some Beck.

COOL! Real original!
I love how the heavy bass groove contrasts with the light crystalline reverb! The voices are a nice touch, too!
Thank you Colleen
Thanks Proods!
Lots of cool twists and turns here. Love how it keeps surprising! And now we are space dancing!!!!
Excellent as ALWAYS! Different...best so far!!

Cool stuff, Steve! I really like how you have an interplay between playful and profound moods.

Great guitar tones. Reminds me a bit of Wishbone Ash. Cool!
Moody and deep, enjoy the guitar tone and your expressive vocals Tom.
Excellent Steffen! Emotional without sounding miserable, as James said.
Lovely! Really well expressed and performed. Good job Colleen and the guys
Thanks Tom. I will eventually come up with some words to fit and suit this.
Thank you kindly. As long as people like you appreciate and enjoy it, I will keep trying to entertain!
Lovely vocals. Great expression in your voice, this number suits you well, good work Tom!

Thanks Tom. You are too kind. I only patched a few sounds together :)
Thank you fairynuff!
James, love this! Neil Young sound to it, and great, funny lyrics.
Cool. Like the guitar start. Reminiscent of Bolan to me, rocked up and psychedelic. Very nice Brett, been waiting for more music from you!

Multi layered this time Tom.like the extra guitar coming in. It sounds great. Not easy song to carry off but you have done a very good job. Super!
Atmospheric, great tune, nice singing, well mixed, I really like it. Well done Steffen!
